The yellow jacket trap

I use these to wipe out the yellow jackets when we have a bad season for them. These work great, so give it a try.

Keifus, not sure about the scent, I never had any problem using joy soap. It does not take much. Just a drop to break the surface tension.

[alaskarap]

Good luck, and I hope it works great for you too. Let me know.

[alaskarap]

OH yeah. In fact they will really atack you. I did hear that sweets work on wasp better than meat. I will try it this week.

[alaskarap]

I am glad. Hope it helps get rid of a few of them.

For all those who think that bees will become trapped, so unless you place fresh flowers with sweet nectar in it, the bees will not touch it.

Yellow jackets and hornets use the muddy water to turn into paper for their nests. The best way to get rid of them is to take a corded bug zapper, place it to next to the nest and throw in smoke bombs and pelt it with a BB gun.

They will 'attack' the bug zapper to their own demise.

Or you can have a proff vacuum them up.

... if you can find the nest.

Is that Seth Rogen talking?

Here's the deal, I had to nests in the yard. I burned one out easily it was in the open. The other is up under a very thick pine tree that goes all the way to the ground, I can't get at 'em. I might try your trap system, what really stinks is I just bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches about 15 minutes ago and ate all the bacon :( Thanx for the upload.

I watched a bunch of videos and liked this one best --- I had most of the parts and had one made in 5 minutes! Now to see if it works with turkey instead of bacon, since that's the only thing I didn't have...

Hey 'alaskarap'

I tried your trap and nothing happening, didn't catch anything, my question is does it matter if the soap has a scent, like lemon or should I try unscented soap..Would this matter? Also I tried a hotdog instead of bacon, that all had at the time..

Great Video tho~

@alaskarap supposedly their taste in food varies throughout the season... they are given a sweet nectar when they feed their young in early summer, but by late summer the adults outnumber the young, and they become more attracted to sweets outside the nest. This info may or may not help in making a trap.
